The Buddha presents a repeated teaching on the six internal and external sense bases regarding the exterior and what’s suffering in the three times in this grouped discourse.
“Rūpā, bhikkhave, dukkhā atītā anāgatā paccuppannā. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ. Saddā … gandhā … rasā … phoṭṭhabbā … dhammā dukkhā atītā anāgatā paccuppannā. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.

“Rūpā, bhikkhave, dukkhā atītā anāgatā paccuppannā.
“Mendicants, in the past … future … present sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and ideas are suffering.
Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā.
What’s suffering is not-self …”
